Despite its position as an entry-level car, the BMW 2 Series Coupe is seriously sporty. The two-door dynamo embodies driving fun and exhilarating performance, unlike the four-door 2 Series Grand Coupe which is admittedly tamer. For 2023, the 230i xDrive model joins the lineup along with the mighty M2 and its 453 horsepower. Look for an even more explosive M2 Competition or M2 CS model to follow at some point in the future.
